The 57-year-old is content to slow life down – quite a bit, in fact, as he’ll turn much of his focus to operating his Auburn winery, Pruett Vineyard, according to a statement on his official website.

The Sierra Foothills vineyard started out of Pruett’s garage, and he runs it with his wife, Judy, and their three children. Pruett, who recently told The Bee his family has “been farmers for five generations,” hand-planted the vines on his property 12 years ago. They’ve been harvesting since 2010.

“It’s the polar opposite of racing,” Pruett told The Bee in November. “In car racing, you live life in seconds. In grapes, you measure it in years.”
